Karyn

Broadway veteran turned marketing maven, Karyn likes flavors to be clean and bright, just like her smile.

Favorite Drink

Sidecar: “What’s not to love? Equally at home in any season, this classic of classics unites the dark smoothness of Cognac with a hint of floral orange liqueur, and the mouth-puckering, bright & sunny tartness of citrus. It warms me from the toes up!”

Ingredients:

Cognac, Cointreau, Lemon Juice, Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass with a half-sugared rim. Garnish with a lemon twist.
